AN-X-AMX ProSoft Technology EtherNet/IP to Reliance AutoMax Gateway

The AN-X-AMX Gateway provides a migration path for users looking to upgrade Reliance AutoMax DCS or Remote I/O networks. The AMX gateway has multiple operating modes, these operating modes are all included with the AN-X-AMX and are selected during initial module configuration. The operating modes include DCSNet2, a bridge between EtherNet/IP and a DCSNet network; DCSLOG, for logging DCSNet traffic; AMXRIO, a bridge between EtherNet/IP and AutoMax Remote I/O; and AMXCapt, a Remote I/O or DCSNet data capture tool.

In addition, the gateway includes several features, including data prioritization, that allow for simplified integration, reduced commissioning time and optimized performance.

Features and Benefits
DCSNet2
In the DCSNet2 operating mode, the gateway acts as a bridge between Ethernet/IP and a Reliance AutoMax DCSNet network. The AN-X removes the hardware dependence on specific AutoMax interface cards (ISA, PCI, PC Card) allowing any computer or PAC with Ethernet/IP to connect to a DCSNet network. - DCSNet Master or Slave
- Supports Reliance AutoMax programming software
- Supports up to 15 scheduled connections to a ControlLogix processor, DCSNet2
- Supports EtherNet/IP HMIs to AutoMax controllers
AMXRIO
In the AMXRIO operating mode, a PC or PAC on Ethernet /IP can connect to a Reliance AutoMax Remote I/O network. The module acts as a master on the AutoMax remote I/O network. -Scan up to 7 slave drops
-Supports up to 248 words of scheduled output data and up to 250 words of scheduled input data
- Scans AutoMax remote I/O racks and heads
